We’ve read this warning in the product specs which we believe it is an important feature to consider: “This product contains one or more chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.” We do not know what chemicals they refer to, but we continue our research and we will let you know.

The Commercial 2150 is one of the first releases of 2012 and it is prone to become a best buy.

This treadmill offers components that you would otherwise find on commercial units, plus a series of innovations that make workouts interactive, motivational. For some, spending $1800 may be an unaffordable luxury, and I can definitely see why.

But I suggest thinking about the Total cost of Ownership for a cheaper, but unadvisable treadmill. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? OK, now let’s see what’s with the Nordictrack Commercial 2150 treadmill.

Well, first of all, it’s everything, from the largest motor anyone will ever find in a residential treadmill all the way to the warranty that evidences the durability of this treadmill.

Not only the motor is powerful, but also surprisingly quiet, at highest speeds. Taller users should not worry, as the running surface is large enough to sustain longer strides.

Although it’s no longer a reason to turn your head around, the 2150 has iFit compatibility, which means creating personalized workouts, downloading them on your treadmill, audio coaching, progress tracking, defining running routes on Google Maps or better said, running the world at large. Sounds good and feels great. We’re not much of the entertainment type of runners, but iFit is much more than plain amusement.

When hitting the workouts button, you’ll see a wide selection of programs that any beginner or professional runner will find enticing, be it for losing the extra weight or staying in shape.

For those who enjoy their favorite tune while running throughout the South of France, they can simply plug in their iPod or MP3 and just hit the road. The speakers are high quality too.

Don’t worry about safety, as this machine is backed up with serious cushioning that will never let any user down. The warranty is a living proof of the long and comfortable usage.

Where should I start? First off, avid runners may find the available decline levels quite appealing. Downhill running stimulates different groups of muscles. Moreover, you can fully enjoy the Google Maps experience, both uphill and downhill.

The Android Browser is once again a notable feature. You can do on your treadmill whatever you need to do on your computer. Plus, you won’t need any more gadget to entirely enjoy the iFit experience.

And as a cherry on top, you also receive the wireless chest strap, included in the price.

When you’re done, just fold the treadmill and hide it in a corner. It is an easy process.

Some might say that the price is a drawback, and it is, for those who don’t need the Android browser and the 10″ touchscreen. If so, other treadmills may sound more appealing.

As an overall conclusion, the Commercial 2150 from Nordictrack is a good opportunity to get interactivity, safety, power, functionality, diversity and innovation all in 1.
